1406: Dave Smith – Bold Messaging

What bold messaging means, from a libertarian perspective, is telling the truth. If there's a libertarian who is telling the truth, there's no way that it isn't bold messaging. We are all radicals. We live under the biggest government in the history of the world. As Martin Luther King once said, “The United States government is the biggest purveyor of violence in the world” —Dave SmithDownload Print Quality (3840×2010) 1.77MB  |  Normal Quality (1920×1005) 239KB

1392: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn – Truth Will Not Be Easy

The truth will not be an easy path. Perhaps, but it is the easiest among those that lie before us. Not an easy choice for the body, but the only one for the soul. No, not an easy path, but then we already have among us people, who have for years lived by the truth. And so: We need not be the first to set out on this path, Ours is but to join! The more of us set out together, the thicker our ranks, the easier and shorter will this path be for us all! If we become thousands—they will not cope, they will be unable to touch us. If we will grow to tens of thousands—we will not recognize our country! —Aleksandr SolzhenitsynDownload Print Quality (7680×4020) 226KB  |  Normal Quality (3840×2010) 131KB

1304: Henry Hazlitt – The Neglect of Thinking

Every man knows there are evils in the world which need setting right… to most men one in particular stands out vividly… it stands out with such startling vividness that they lose sight of other evils. To the Socialist this evil is the capitalistic system; to the feminist, it is the subjection of women; to the clergyman, it is the decline of religion; to the staunch Republican it is the Democratic Party, and so on, ad infinitum. I, too, have a pet little evil, to which I am apt to attribute all the others. This evil is the neglect of thinking. And when I say thinking I mean real thinking, independent thinking, hard thinking. —Henry HazlittDownload Print Quality (6014×7680) 718KB  |  Normal Quality (3007×3840) 646KB
